Lyrics

I woke up in dark ness,

sur round ed by si lence.

Oh, where,

where have I gone?

I woke to re al i ty

los ing its grip on me.

Oh, where,

where have I gone?

’Cause I can (F)see the light

be (F)fore I see the sun rise.

You (Gm)called and You (Eb)shout ed,

(Bb)broke through my (F)deaf ness.

Now I’m (Gm)breath ing in and (Eb)breath ing out.

(Bb)I’m a live a gain.

You (Gm)shat tered my (Eb)dark ness,

(Bb)washed a way my (F)blind ness.

Now I’m (Gm)breath ing in and (Eb)breath ing out.

(Bb)I’m a live a gain.

Late have I loved You.

You wait ed for me, I searched for You.

What took me so long?

I was look ing out side,

as if love would ev er want to hide.

I’m find ing I was wrong.

’Cause I can (F)feel the wind

be (F)fore it hits my skin.

You (Gm)called and You (Eb)shout ed,

(Bb)broke through my (F)deaf ness.

Now I’m (Gm)breath ing in and (Eb)breath ing out.

(Bb)I’m a live a gain.

You (Gm)shat tered my (Eb)dark ness,

(Bb)washed a way my (F)blind ness.

Now I’m (Gm)breath ing in and (Eb)breath ing out.

(Bb)I’m a live a gain.

(F)I’m a live a gain.

’Cause I want You, yes, I want You.

I need You, and I’ll do what ev er I have to just to get through, ’cause I love You, and I love You.

You

Does it show chords so I can play along on guitar or piano?
It does — a chord symbol sits on a thin row just above the lyric it changes on, so the same screen doubles as a lyrics-and-chords chart. Guitarists can strum the changes and pianists can comp while singing; the chords are colour-coded and move with the live transpose if you change key.

Can I slow "Alive Again" down to learn the words and chords?
Yes — the tempo control lets you take it as slow as you need while the lyrics still light up in time and the ball keeps you on the beat. Speed it back up once you can sing and play it through.
